Seeing the positive sides of RS' new plan.

You got to be kidding me, your not using internet download manager?

[GeeZus]

Nope, just a normal copy n paste.

How are you able to use IDM as a free user ...

I tried it, but without premium details it downloads the html page .. and if you're successful you only get 1 connection without resume ... so what's the use for free users to DL with IDM?

[CM]

There is no use.

I haven't really dug into it but aren't you limited to a storage amount now? How can you upload 1TB to your account without paying a big fee? o.O

[raflamo]

i am still expecting update
hopefully with in one or two days
but i have no expectation that, from now getting points or any kind of rewards will be as easy as it was

This is my situation.

*Storage is the secured storage space on our servers. Every Premium user (even without a Hosting-Package) can store files on RapidShare.com. Files which are stored without a Hosting-Package are subject to the file inactivity regulation. The file inactivity regulation states that if a file has not been up- or downloaded within the past 60 days, our system clears it from our servers. Files in your Hosting-Package Storage are excluded from this rule.

It is my opinion that the files within blue area can be used with the features of the package like file manager and are not affected by the file inactivity rule. The ones in the red area are affected and you cannot manage yourself.

Every Premium user (even without a Hosting-Package) can store files on RapidShare.com.

I have to admit I am kinda lost here ... how can you be a premium member without a hosting package. It is my understanding that you always will have the small package.

Oh I see... Well then, RS is still fine and good to use! Thanks for clearing that out for me sniffdog.

[drazenm]

But no rewards for uploders, maybe they introduce something once rapid points are killed, in few days...

[Spooky]

I have heard that they will run some sort of check each 24 hrs to see what amount of storage you are using and then change the plan you are on to the one which reflect the used storage.

How true this is I am not sure, we will have to wait and see.

[sniffdog]

We will know in due time ...

It really doesn't matter how you store your files .... you will not get rewarded.
